Answer 1

My favorite is "Seared Tuna"

2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded, and small diced
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
2 tuna steaks

Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.

Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.

Answer 2

Maybe serve this with a green salad and baked potato...

"Tuna Steaks with Salsa" - 4 servings

1 cup shredded carrots
3/4 cup chopped peeled mango
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. minced chives
1/4 tsp. salt; divided
1/4 tsp. pepper; divided
1/8 tsp. ground coriander
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)

For salsa, in a bowl, combine carrots, mango, lime juice, chives, 1/8 tsp. of the salt, 1/8 tsp. of the pepper, coriander and cumin; set aside. Sprinkle tuna steaks with the remaining salt and pepper.
Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill tuna, covered, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Top with salsa.

Answer 3

I assume you are talking about real tuna, not the stuff from a can.

I like to grill mine over a super hot flame, until it is seared on the outside but still rare on the inside. Slice it like you would a steak, and serve it with some rice & vegetables...makes a great light dinner.

Answer 4

Tuna Sandwich!

Answer 5

Here's a few things that I do with Tuna—

1) Drain out the water, put it in a bowl and mix it with mayo. Put it in the fridge and wait about an hour until it's gotten cold. From that point, I'll eat it plain, I put it on regular bread. Or, if I am not too busy, I toast two slices of bread, put the tuna on the toast, then put a slice of tomato and romaine lettuce.

2) Drain out the water, put it in a bowl, and mix it with mustard. I leave it in the fridge for a few hours then I put it on Sesame Crackers.

3) When I was younger, my mom taught me a delicious recipe that I use today. You take a box of elbow macaronis and lay them on the bottom of a dishpan, take 6 cans of Chicken Of The Sea Tuna, empty them out (including water) into the large dishpan, then lay american cheese on top, and bake in the oven.

Answer 6

You could make tuna melts....mix tuna, onion, egg, bread crumbs...make a patty out of it and fry it for about 1 min and a half on both sides...then melt some cheese over the top. I like it without ans serve it with rice and a green vegie.

Answer 7

The best way to cook it is tuna casserole then you don't have to worry about what to serve it with because it's all in there together. Go find a recipe!

Answer 8

I like it seared, good and rare in the middle, on a bed of salad greens, with pickled ginger and a wasabi ranch dressing (Just mix wasabi powder with ranch dressing), maybe a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

A nice bit of bread and a glass of Pacific Rim Reisling, and I'm set for dinner. :)

Answer 9

Just take it out of the can, chop it up, stick it in a bowl and mix a ton of mayonnaise in. Then, put in on two slices of bread and eat with a glass of milk.
